Tax funding for Capital projects reduced by $77,100
Replaced by funds carried over from 2016 Reduction in project and reallocation of funding Use of Amenity Funds.
Museum Supplemental request decreased by $20,200. Employee Parking Lot now Gas Tax funded Tax revenue from new construction reduced by $9,000.
Total reductions since introduction: $90,750.
The Draft Financial Plan started out with a 1.51% general
tax increase for 2017.
At introduction, we outlined the major budgetary impacts
(how we got to the 1.51%).
We have since identified additional net savings that reduce
the tax increase to 0.66%.
Council will have one more chance to make additional
changes to the budget.
Supplemental Items – one-time or ongoing additions to
existing service levels
Net impact for 2017: $137,250.
Additional $124,000 going into reserves
Including $60K Supplemental item above.
More support for community organizations and partners. Beginning construction of Community Safety Building
Tax impacts are mostly in 2018/2019.
Making the most of all our funding sources to keep tax
increases to a minimum.

The following table compares (one measure of) inflation over the last
5 years to the annual tax increases:
The inflation factor used in the above table is not the most relevant
to capture the Town’s expenditure types.
Price of oil and construction materials, for example, has greater impact on
Town budget than on typical basket of goods that makes up CPI.
More importantly, CPI does not allow for additions to the “basket”
i.e. New services.
2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Cumul. Victoria CPI* 1.0%
0.9% 1.1% 1.77% 4.5% Tax Increase 2.93% 2.61% 2.52% 0.81% 0.66% 9.9%
In comparing CPI to tax increases, must also consider:
Changes in service level from one year to the next
e.g.. Firefighter Hiring Plan, additional Policing.
Non-discretionary increases over which the Town has no control
e.g. Large increases to RCMP contract.
Increases deferred from (or accumulating in) previous years
e.g. Setting aside more funds to deal with Infrastructure Deficit Incurring debt to pay for building replacements or parks expansion Hiring Parks staff to assist with increased maintenance volumes due to
addition of park spaces.

The “Base Budget” is developed to maintain existing levels of service to taxpayers
i.e. what does it cost to provide the services that have been previously approved by Council, and expected by the public?
Staff use collective experience, along with the latest external information, to determine cost of delivering services
We don’t budget for “worst case”, only “most likely case” based
Not always an increase; we look for efficiencies where available.
Most likely sources for additional reductions:
Capital projects funded from Taxation Supplementals
Why not the Operating budget?
Mainly due to use of Surplus funding The $250K we use to minimize tax impact mainly covers
expected savings in Operating budget
If we reduce Ops. budget, we reduce the comfort level with
generating expected savings
Therefore, if Ops. budget reduced, first step would be to also
reduce amount of Surplus funding; hence no tax impact.
Town is required to have an ongoing Surplus from prior years’
Does not mean that we can’t have a deficit in a given year.
We have a long-standing policy that outlines what our minimum balances should be:
Based on percentage of previous year’s revenues
25% for Taxes, 15% for Utilities
We use a certain amount of Surplus to balance the budget each year (now increased to $250K)
This prevents “over-taxing” for current operations
Expectation is that departments given sufficient funds to carry out mandate, but that some savings will occur.
Temporary increase by $50K for 2017/18 to fund term positions.
